@Folly Yes, I do now, thx for the explanation! For my full understanding ... the "Fatal error: required files are missing." is to be expected on the Pi5 for the time being?

if you are using the script from my repo, yes. it has not been updated with the new code that folly is messing with.
once he is done with trying the different things, he will update the script and i will incorporate it into my repo

Yes, if you have 32bit OS running then this behavior is expected..

this behavior is expe

But I'm running the 64-bits PiOS.

@mth75

Did you add the swap to your module-script as suggested over here.

Do you have the core installed ?
(check for /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-same_cdi/same_cdi_libretro.so)

Can you explain where you got the message from ?
(runcommand.log or a Retropie install log)

Are you having the BIOS file in the correct place ?
(BIOS/same_cdi/bios/cdimono1.zip)

We could make it 64bit if the platform contains rpi5 agree ?

If your code works. I have no problem going with it that way.

Or have it switch on what it needs to compile depending on what OS type they are using

Maybe something like this
if isPlatform "odroid-n2"; then
	/home/aresuser/ARES-Setup/fixmali.sh
    elif isPlatform "rockpro64"; then
    /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/install_mali.sh
	fi
Not sure if that will work for you are trying

I had a look at this code and I think it's not usable for what I want.
I think both platforms run 64bit only so I think there is no need to filter on these platforms.

I tested this platform independent code and it seems to work fine (code can be reduced see Edit):

rp_module_flags="$([[ $(getconf LONG_BIT) == 32 && $(arch) == aarch64 ]] && echo !32bit)"

It means that if a 32 userspace kernel is found that the !32bit flag is enabled.

I think there is no way to use "RetroPie flags" for detecting that a 32 userspace kernel is found.

Edit :

Seems we can reduce the code to (*first example):

rp_module_flags="$([[ $(arch) == aarch64 ]] && echo !32bit)"

Means that the 64bit kernel is detected even if it runs in 32bit userspace.
We know that the compilation fails for 32bit userspace and RetroPie will set the flag on 32bit if 32bit userspace is detected.
Therefor no need for using the getconf LONG_BIT command.
By disabling 32bit when the 64bit kernel is detected we should be good to go.

What do you think of using this ?

The code from above could be changed to :

[[ $(arch) == aarch64 ]] && rp_module_flags="!32bit"

However in the first example* we have to ability to add more flags in the same line if needed.

@Folly I'm good with using what works. I'm not picky with how it works, as long as in the end it works.

@ExarKunIv

Added a PR.

@Folly thanks again for your help with this

Folly

@ExarKunIv

Added another PR.
Seems the swap was missing and I renamed the filename so it's easier to use the retropie_packages.sh script.

@Retrodade What kind of Repository do you use for "retropie-extra", this ?
I think this works fine (but I haven't tested yet Philips CDI games):
https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

But I tested it with many other emulators like:
"AetherSX2 - PS2 Emulators" runs in 60Fps with my Pi5.
"Sega Supermodel 3" runs very well with my Pi5.
